Sound advice on new DVD
February 1st 2008 Employers risk being taken
to court if they fail to
manage noise exposure
properly. If it's not the
safety regulator (who can
press for unlimited fines),
then it might be employees
suing for compensation for
work-induced hearing loss.
To help employers
manage the problem Safety
Media has launched a new
DVD: Noise Awareness – The
Facts.
The company believes its
DVD is ideal for employers
in many industries
including construction,
demolition or road repair,
woodworking and plastics
processing.
The DVD is informative,
to the point and at 15min,
short enough to keep your
employees' attention. The
title covers: How much
noise is too much noise?;
Advice on how to protect
your hearing; The purpose
of a noise assessment; How
to protect your hearing at
work; and protection
available and its correct use.
The DVD is in two parts: one
aimed at the employer, the
other at the employee. More articles from Safety Media Limited: |
